Me Made Mittwoch

Funny enough, Me Made Mittwoch is a great link party not in the English speaking blog- land, but in the good old Germany where I live. And even funnier, the name of this great hosting blog is Cat und Kascha. Do you see the similiarity to my name? My name is written in polish - KASIA- pronounced Kascha. So I am taking my chance today and linking up at Cat und Kascha!

My deer friend helped me to make the very first skirt- thingy for myself. Yes, for myself! Ok, Tina got one as well because as I showed her my skirt, she looked at it from all sides and said: "that is nice, can you put it in my cabinet next to all the other skirts?" So, I had a problem. If I were to put this skirt on, my little pea pod would freak out that I am wearing her stuff. Hmmm - and now?

My dear Elisabeth came to the rescue and made me a pattern from that skirt to fit Tina. Thank you Elisabeth!

Another small thing I wanted to show you is something I made for Elisabeth. When we were sewing our skirts at her place, her overlock was sliding all over the place. Elisabeth loves pink. So she got a pink anti- skid mat for her machine!

I sewed an anti skid material under the felt and made the bird from Spoolsewing as a pin cushion, filled with steel wool to sharpen the pins.
